I deactivated headless mode (user & workspace), but I’m still getting the yellow message telling me that I’m using headless mode.

Research direction

Start by reproducing both reports in VS Code on macOS with extension v2.1.6: pressing Shift in a tab and disabling headless mode at user and workspace scope. Trace the keyboard handling and headless-mode status display; done means Shift no longer inactivates the tab and the yellow banner matches the configured mode.
